MacReach Show #25: Thank You Steve for Thinking Different | Thank you Steve for Thinking Different. Tonight’s show was focused on remembering a true visionary: Steve Jobs. This special edition of the MacReach Show looks to honor a creative genius who changed the world as we know it. A very special thanks to Kelly Dumont, Scott Meech, Kim Zimmer, Dan Rezac, Andy Losik, Mark Hammons, Greg Garner, and Scott Weidig for joining in to share how Steve impacted their lives. “Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” – Apple Ad Campaign Show Host: Meg Wilson (@iPodsibiities) Co-Hosts: Kelly Dumont (@KDumont), Scott Meech (@SMeech), Dan Rezac (@DRezac), Kim Zimmer (@MacTeacher), Mark Hammons (@MHammons), Greg Garner (@classroom_tech), Andy Losik (@MrLosik), and Scott Weidig (@VanishingPoint) Subscribe to the MacReach Podcast on iTunes Subscribe to the EdReach Podcast Feed View the complete show notes here on the EdReach MacReach Wiki to see all the links discussed in the show. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” – Steve Jobs You will not be forgotten Steve Jobs. With a heavy heart, I say goodbye to the best friend I never met. | 10/5/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

MacReach Show #2: iPad Thoughts and Speculations | This week’s MacReach episode focused on our thoughts and speculations about all things iPad. The panel attempts to answer the following questions: - Will the Mac App Store need some sort of Volume Purchasing Program? - Will Georgia trade textbooks for iPads? - Businesses are creating in-house apps… but should schools? - Are schools using AirPrint? - Do you need the new Bretford iPad syncing cart? Find out what this week’s group had to say! Also covered in this episode… we have the results for last week’s poll and we posted a new poll for this week: What do you hope to see on the next iPad? (Answer on the EdReach home page!) We want to hear from you… so take a quick moment to weigh in on our conversation. This week’s episode just wouldn’t be complete without the App of the Week, and ten ways to incorporate it into your classroom. You can even watch and vote on Rose’s first Toon! We end the podcast by taking a quick look at how to use the Zoom function in the classroom, a great feature for many students. | 2/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
